"Why haven't Mom and Dad come to pick us up yet?"
An hour had passed after dinner, and Xiao Xier was a little anxious when she saw that they had not returned yet.
I've really had enough of staying in the Meng Mansion.
"Even if Mother was giving acupuncture to two people, she should have finished long ago."
Su Ningjie glanced at the sky. In half an incense stick of time, it would be time for the brother and sister to wash up and go to bed.
Is Cui Zhehan’s condition so serious?
Meng Wei said, "Don't worry, maybe Cui Zhehan, or Old Madam Cui, is seriously ill and will need to wait for some time."
"Your mother must be very tired after treating Cui Zhehan and Old Lady Cui for such a long time. It's getting late now, so why not persuade your mother to stay overnight at the Meng Mansion to save her the trouble of traveling back and forth?"
The three siblings nodded in unison upon hearing this.
Meng Wei was delighted, her wish had come true.
After all, it takes at least half an hour to get back to Lu Mansion from Meng Mansion.
"Wei Ying, go back and tell Big Sister that we're staying at the Meng residence tonight."
Not long after Wei Ying left, Meng Gaoyu, dressed in official uniform and looking a little disheveled, hurried into the yard.
"Sister-in-law, something terrible has happened. Cui Zhehan has kidnapped Madam Su."
"What did you say? What happened to our mother?"
When Meng Gaoyu saw the Su brothers and sisters here, he was stunned.
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in Lu Mansion?"
Su Ningjie hurriedly said, "That's not the point. The point is what happened to our mother? What did she do when she was kidnapped by Cui Zhehan?"
Su Ningwen broke free from the hands of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and stared at Meng Gaoyu with a worried expression.
"Gao Yu, hurry up and tell the children. Isn't Cui Zhehan sick and dying? How could he still have the energy to kidnap Madam Su?"
Meng Gaoyu quickly recounted what had happened at Cui's house.
After Meng Gaoyu finished speaking, the three children ran out as fast as arrows.
The Meng family couldn't catch up even after chasing them.
The three little ones ran into Si Chuyu who came to pick them up outside the gate.
Si Chuyu couldn't persuade the children, so he took them to the secret passage of Fushou Hall.
"The three of you come back with me first. An Ge'er and your father have gone after them, and A Jin and the government officials have gone after them too. Your mother will be back soon, and she'll be fine."
"Second brother, third brother, let's go back. With Dad and Big Brother here, we will definitely be able to bring Mom back safely."
Su Ningjie said, "Brother-in-law, please arrange more people to chase them."
"good."
Midnight.
Xiao Xier quietly left the Lu Mansion.
The streets of Huayang County were unusually quiet tonight. Soon, the sounds of phoenixes and tigers roaring were heard.
A snow-white tiger, carrying Xiao Xier on its back, was running wildly after the Fire Phoenix.
"Dad, what's that sound?"
Su Xingyi looked back in the direction of the sound and saw that the night sky not far away gradually turned bright red and then quickly disappeared.
There was only the rustling of the wind in the trees.
"Ang'er, it's the wind. Go to the cabin and take a nap. I'll call you when I catch up with your mother."
"I'm not sleepy."
Su Ning'an felt extremely guilty when he thought that it was his greed for lotus cakes that led to his mother being captured.
He won't sleep until he catches up with his mother.
Su Xingyi's mood at the moment was the same as Su Ning'an's. There was something wrong with the cup of tea, but he didn't even smell it.
And he said he was protecting Xiaoyu? This is how he protected Xiaoyu?!
He didn't even notice that the tea was drugged!
If the person accompanying Xiaoyu today was Feng Jinyu, Xiaoyu should not have been kidnapped by Cui Zhehan, right?
At this time, Xiao Lingyu was tied up with his hands and feet and locked in a small cabin, watched by two servants.
Xiao Lingyu didn't expect that these two people could stay up so late. It was already past midnight, and they were still staring at her.
They have been staring at her. Is she going to disappear in front of them?
Xiao Lingyu moved his body and pretended to wake up.
"Ah, two maids, why aren't you sleeping so late? If you don't sleep after midnight, your body will be damaged. No matter how many tonics you take in the past, it won't make up for it."
"Madam Su, I advise you to stop thinking about this. Once you're on this boat, you can't escape even if you want to. Don't worry about sleeping. We'll be ashore in a quarter of an hour."
If it weren't for Nanny Gui saying that Madam Su was weird and could attract thousands of ants.
There's no need for them to stare at us like a hawk.
This face looks... well, it's so beautiful that it's uncanny.
Go ashore?
Where are you going?
Xiao Lingyu soon found out.
Cui Zhehan was worried that the pursuers would abandon the ship halfway, so he used the empty ship trick.
Even if someone came looking for them, they would not be able to find their whereabouts.
Xiao Lingyu was blindfolded and stuffed into the carriage.
The carriage drove for about half an hour, stopped, turned in another direction, and continued driving for another quarter of an hour.
The carriage was shaking violently during the journey, and Xiao Lingyu could easily guess that it was a mountain road.
Afterwards, Xiao Lingyu was roughly pulled out of the carriage by a servant, carried on her shoulders, brought into a room, and thrown heavily onto the hardwood floor.
Xiao Lingyu had never been treated like this before, and he was beaten to a pulp.
After tossing and turning, Xiao Lingyu's body couldn't bear it anymore. He endured the pain all over his body, lay down on the hardwood board and fell into a deep sleep.
"Master, the traces have been cleaned up, no one will come looking for us."
Cui Zhehan said, "Okay, go down and make some arrangements. Rest here for a day and then head north the day after tomorrow."
At this time, Cui Zhehan and his group were in a two-story house in the valley, which was the site of an abandoned iron smelting plant of the Cui family.
The place is very secret and not easy to be discovered.
The white tiger carried Xiao Xier to the place where Cui Zhehan abandoned the boat and stopped.
Huanghuang also flew down from the sky and waited beside Xiao Xier.
